2 Vidalia Onion Favorite Recipes

The Vidalia Onion is the official vegetable for the state of Georgia. There is a rich history behind the Vidalia Onion which you can read more about here. In fact there is even a festival honoring the vegetable which is so famous it has been featured on The Food Network!

It is Vidalia onion season which prompts me to share a couple of my personal favorite recipes for cooking Vidalia onions. It is finally time for some summer food!

“Vidalia onions aren’t just the most famous onions in the world; I think they may be the only famous onions in the world.” Bobby Flay

Creamed Vidalia Onion & Mushroom Sauce

1 large Vidalia onion

1-2 Tbsp. butter

1 pkg. fresh mushrooms, washed & drained

2-3 Tbsp. Heavy cream

Salt & Pepper to taste

Peel and slice the Vidalia onion and place in skillet along with mushrooms and butter. Sear until the onions are clear and the mushrooms are tender. Pour in the heavy cream. Stir frequently and cook until the mixture thickens. Serve over your choice of meat.

Microwave Steamed Vidalia Onions & Mushrooms

1 large Vidalia onion peeled and sliced

1 pkg. fresh mushrooms, washed & drained

1-2 Tbsp. butter

Seasoning Salt to taste

Place all ingredients into a microwave safe dish and cover with microwave safe covering. Cook on high for 5 to 15 minutes or until onions and mushrooms are tender. Microwave cook times vary. Serve and enjoy!

Vidalia onions are sweet. You can use them in any recipe which calls for onions. Here you can find a nice Black Eye Pea Salsa recipe which also calls for chopped onions.

If you are REALLY a big onion fan, have you ever grilled or baked them with bouillon cubes? You simply peel the onion, hollow out a hole in the center, drop in a beef or chicken bouillon cube and either grill or bake wrapped in foil!

My husband would love this! I’m not a mushroom person though, so he never gets them! Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party! I’ve pinned this to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest board!Tammy @ creativekkids recently posted…Handprint Crafts for Mother’s Day #linky

Uh Oh, sorry! Use it anyway. I couldn’t just post Vidalia onion recipes without talking about them. It’s that Georgia pride showing since those sweet onions originated here. We always look forward to Vidalia onion season here and usually buy them in the 10 lb. bags 🙂
